A tall, dark-haired boy leaned against the nearest stone pillar.

"Tom Riddle?" Dudley stood up and cast a protective spell around Hermione, he looked at Riddle and felt a little strange because Riddle's outline was blurred, and it was like a foggy window between him and him.

Riddle nodded, "That's right, it's me." ”

"What do you mean she won't wake up, you're sucking her life force?" Dudley asked in a deep voice, looking around, "Why are you the only one, Malfoy?"

"Of course he's here," Riddle said, waving his wand a few times toward the sidelines.

Two or three seconds later, Malfoy flew over, but by this time he was unconscious, and a sharp-eyed Dudley found him holding a black worn-out diary in his arms.

"Now that you have Malfoy, Hermione's life force is superfluous to you. Dudley's eyes fixed on Riddle.

"The more the merrier," Riddle said pleasantly.

Dudley suddenly turned his wand at Riddle and unleashed a silent burst of flame. The dark blue flames sped towards Riddle like ghosts.

There was a hint of joy in his eyes, Riddle didn't react at all, the dark blue flames hit Riddle, but at this moment, he became dumbfounded.

When the dark blue flames hit Riddle's body, his body twisted, and the dark blue flames passed directly through his body and struck the stone pillar behind him.

"How so!" Dudley cried out in surprise.

"Tsk, that's a pity," Riddle tilted his head to look at Dudley, who pretended to pat the place that had been pierced by the dark blue flames, "The flames of the blood mutation, I can feel the strength of this spell. It's just a pity that I'm not an entity, but a memory. ”

"Memory......" Dudley frowned, "If you have a memory, how can you use the Levitation Charm?"

"That's the benefit of absorbing the life force of two people," Riddle laughed, the smile on his good-looking face that should have been like a spring breeze, but his smile made Dudley shudder.

Now he can't attack Riddle, and Riddle can attack him, and the only solution is ......

Dudley glanced vaguely at the worn-out diary in Malfoy's arms, looking for only an opportunity to destroy it. Harry didn't use the Fire Charm, and his Fire Charm couldn't break the diary.

"That's a pity," he sighed, as if resigned to his fate, "I have some doubts, can you help me solve them?"

"I want to know how Malfoy got my journal, and how did Lockhart become the one who opened the Chamber of Secrets?" Riddle squinted and tapped his head, "Thanks to you, Dudley Dursley." ”

"Thank me?" Dudley couldn't turn a corner, what was the direct connection?

"In the last school year, Malfoy was suppressed by you at every turn, and even drinking a potion of magic could not beat you," Riddle never took his eyes off Dudley as he spoke, and there was an unknown depth in his eyes.

"That day, Malfoy found me hiding in his house, and I wanted Malfoy to open his whole soul to me. So I did my best to teach him the magic and the application of the magic powers......"

"So you controlled Malfoy back then?" Dudley asked curiously, if that was the case, it would have been too long, and he would have been resurrected a long time ago.

"Of course not," Riddle shook his head, "I'm so dedicated, but Malfoy only sees me as a tool, a thinking tool, and he's on my guard. ”

"Later, that bastard Lucius Malfoy actually tried to send me away, and I knew he was afraid, that he didn't think I would come back, that I would be found out that I still had my belongings in the house.

Then I worked with Malfoy to make a fake diary, which had no other purpose than to trick the person who got it, who couldn't help but write it, and eventually died violently.

Malfoy saw you looking at the journal when he was in Diagon Alley, but now it seems that he guessed that you didn't get it, and that the little girl from the Weasleys didn't write on it. ”

Dudley raised an eyebrow, but fortunately he had stolen the diary, otherwise Harry's future wife would have been gone, and he said, "And then, why did Malfoy open his soul to you?"

"Remember that time in the courtyard when you trampled Malfoy under your feet?" Riddle laughed wildly, "and it was because of your step that Malfoy vaguely wanted to open his soul to me, and he wanted to be more powerful, to defeat you with absolute power." ”

"That's really my pleasure," Dudley pouted, it was really a cause and an effect. He thinks that these unrelated things are such a big consequence after they are finally strung together.

"Then there's the clash on the pitch," Riddle regained his composure, but couldn't help but smile at the corners of his mouth, "Snape told Malfoy to apologize to the mudblood," he nodded at Hermione, who was lying on the ground, "It was the last straw that broke Malfoy's back." ”

The smile on Riddle's face vanished, replaced by a very ugly expression.

"Can you understand his anger at the time?"

It's clear why Snape was attacked, and why Hermione was captured, but ......

Dudley frowned suddenly, and he looked at Riddle, and there was a feeling that he was speaking.

"At this point, Malfoy's soul has been completely opened to me," Riddle stretched out his arms as if to embrace the whole world, "I must thank you, Dudley Dursley, for I would not have been resurrected so quickly without you." ”

Dudley smiled disdainfully, he wouldn't be fooled by such a straightforward strategy, he just had to delay until Dumbledore arrived.

"And what about Lockhart? How could he admit that he had opened the Chamber of Secrets?"

"That idiot! just a wretched creature controlled by the Imperius Curse," Riddle's sarcasm was palpable, "he was injured in the court that day and was lying in the school hospital, and I'm going to clean him up so that everyone will target your suspicions." Lockhart wanted to clean you up, so I did a good thing of adult beauty by the way. ”

"You're also an adult beauty?"

Riddle shrugged his shoulders, he spread his hands and said helplessly: "But I didn't expect that with my help, Lockhart would still be such a waste, he couldn't hold up the wall......"

Dudley suddenly realized, "No wonder he behaved so weirdly after drinking the Truth Elixir." On one side is the effect of the potion, and on the other side is your control. ”
